That is not the reason.

Funny that George Will did not mention Colin Kaepernick. Maybe George just ran out of space.

It's becoming too politicized - Plus ESPN is the worst in play analysis.

The real reason is the reason that dare not be mentioned. It's the elephant in the room so to speak, or rather choose another animal in the menagerie.

The lawyers are sharpening their sticks.

Notice every time the ‘lack of participation’ of fans comes up, the injury factor gets mentioned.

When the players ‘talk’ themselves out of a job, watch the head injuries become a Racial Issue because THE WHITE MAN used Black Players - and unfairly cut some White Players - just so they could get more Blacks in a position to get permanent damage.

Hope one NEVER brings up the Christians vs the Lions in the ‘Old Roman Days’ as the Blacks will liken themselves as the Christians being thrown to the Lions(WHITE OWNERS and share holders) just to exploit the Black man for the Sport of the White People and Drug Dealers to bet on.

Johnny Cochrane is itching to come back...

Haven’t they been making changes to the rules, to make the game safer? Haven’t they banned certain types of blocking and physical contacts to try to avoid some injuries?

Weren’t they working on safer helmets?

I don’t really follow football, but I thought the NFL was trying to make the game safer, due to these concerns.

It is a reason.

Another reason is "college football" where the players can be seriously injured and the attitude is "too bad, so sad, we are yanking your scholarship".

But the main reason is the the NFL could not decide if it should enforce it's rules or not so they went to "selective enforcement".

I hate anti-American crybabies. But I really loath wishy-washy, mealymouthed Caspar Milquetoast types.

Stand up for what you believe. I may agree, I may disagree but take a stand!

I do think brain injury is a serious issue but it offers nearly no explanation as to why fewer Americans are watching the NFL of late. Has anyone said, "Yeah, I love my team but I can't stand to watch them damaging their brains"? If anyone has I haven't heard it. (And I actually have heard that said about boxing).

I have heard a very great deal about the outrage over the flag protests, mostly a quiet outrage that doesn't result in public display of passion but sure as hell does result in people finding something else to do with the time. Those aren't people who come back, either.

It's an issue the media won't talk about. That doesn't mean it isn't an issue.

Will, lawn jockey for the DNC, is out there doing his best to cover for the political activists who have been excluded from the scorn of the left for making too much money only so long as they stayed on liberal message. When people like Robert Kraft and Bill Belichik shoot holes in their perfect liberal teachings, everyone must suffer. Now players are the new endangered polar bears.

George Will, the never trump atheist who thinks he is smarter than everyone else in the room.

Used to really respect the guy. Not so much any more.
